Interventional Physiatry – Then and Now

Interventional physiatry is a subspecialty within physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) that many physiatrists pursue. It began gaining traction in the 1990s and has since grown significantly, encompassing procedures performed under fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance. Historically, it has been one of the most financially rewarding areas within PM&R. However, in recent years, some physiatrists have noted a decline in the number of procedures covered by insurance, along with reduced reimbursement rates. The field has also expanded to include regenerative therapies, which are typically not reimbursed by insurance providers.  View our latest interventional and more job postings here
